MY MASTER'S KISS, VOLUME 3 - Season 7 Episode 31

Ji Nuan: “…”

What and what were they saying? She was only trying this on. She didn’t mention that she would buy it. Furthermore, this size was suitable to be worn on her other fingers.

Ji Nuan wanted to speak, but Mo Jingshen had already moved to hold her hand firmly. He plucked that ring off of her little finger and gave her an unkind look before tossing the ring back to the counter staff.

Seeing the man’s gaze, Ji Nuan pursed her lips: “I didn’t…”

“Is there a bigger size?” the man did not wait for her to speak and turned to ask the staff behind the counter.

“Yes, there is!” The employee rushed to bring out several, similar designs and spread them out on the counter for their view.

The man picked up the same design Ji Nuan had selected earlier. He tried to place it on her ring finger, but Ji Nuan rapidly shrunk her hand back. Her gaze was determined as she glared at him, indicating that she wouldn’t allow him to do so easily.

Mo Jingshen paused because of her clear rejection. However, after deliberating through it, he felt that such a careless attempt to put a ring on her ring finger wasn’t suitable. A better location and ring was necessary.

Thus, he did not insist. He checked the size and was about to place it on her index finger when the employee interjected teasingly: “Sir, you can’t place it on her index finger either! A ring on her index fingers means that she is currently single, and if any men are interested, they can bravely pursue her without any worries. It’s the same as a declaration of her singlehood and an invitation for others to pursue her. Are you trying to create trouble for yourself?”

Mo Jingshen: “…”

Ji Nuan held in her laughter, but the way her cheeks were twitching revealed how difficult it was.

The employee had also noticed Ji Nuan’s earlier move to shrink her hand back. She thoughtfully added: “If you’re in the midst of a passionate love, you can place it on her middle-finger. It indicates that the person is attached and deep in love.”

Ji Nuan wanted to say, who was she passionately in love with? From the sound of it, it seemed like wearing it on her little finger was all right. It was pretty good, actually. In any case, she had no plans to date anyone right now.

However, the man refused to back down. He expressionlessly picked up the same ring of a different size and placed it on Ji Nuan’s middle finger.

Ji Nuan scanned the ring on her middle finger; it was quite lovely. Although silver wasn’t as expensive, it was easy to craft with and more complex designs could be made with it. This was a design that couldn’t be crafted with many jewels, white gold or even gold.

But she really didn’t mention she wanting to buy it, ah.

“Not bad.” After placing it on her finger, Mo Jingshen held Ji Nuan’s soft hand and appeared to have no plans of letting go. He seemed extremely satisfied as he spoke lightly: “It’s quite beautiful. Do you like it?”

Ji Nuan: “I didn’t plan on buying it. I was only trying it on.”

The man appeared not to have heard anything. He turned to the employee and asked: “Are there similar designs of the same size?”

“Yes!”

The employee brought out several more.

Various little rings were placed before Ji Nuan. Her eyes grew blurry with the choices. She found that all of them were beautiful. However, strangely, she found the one she was wearing the best. In fact, they were all quite similar and the style of design was outstanding.

“Don’t like it?” The man glanced at the ring Ji Nuan was wearing once more.

“I do, but there’s no need…”

“We’ll have them all.”

“…”

“I said there’s no need to buy them, I didn’t say that I…”

The man scanned the rings and replied: “It seems to me that you don’t know which to choose. Then why don’t we buy it all. You can wear a different one everyday.”

Ji Nuan: “…”

The employee: “…”

A few minutes later, the staff brought the written bill over: “Sir, the six rings you’ve chosen costs a thousand five hundred and ninety yuan in total.”

Mo Jingshen paused before glancing at Ji Nuan once more.

Ji Nuan resisted another laugh. It was rare to see Boss Mo appear awkward. A man like him perhaps understood most things well, but he was still less aware when it came to women’s accessories. He likely didn’t pay much attention to the material of the rings earlier, and had made the preparation to spend several millions, or even tens of millions.

Ji Nuan raised her hand and waved it before him with a smile: “The rings are made of silver. Any one of them costs around two to three hundred yuan.”

After hearing the price once more, the hint of surprise disappeared from the man’s expression. He glanced at her once more: “Do you like it?”

Ji Nuan nodded. Since it wasn’t expensive, it was fine to just buy it. She even had a blue diamond worth several hundred million yuan and a painting worth six hundred million yuan in her hands. It was rare for her to shop. There was nothing wrong with buying a few small playthings.

Seeing that she really liked it, the man held her hand and turned to pay for it. In a small place like this, he couldn’t wave his hand for the bill to be charged to his Boss Mo’s name. They had to head to the counter to pay with cash or card.

The employee waited by the counter and carefully wrapped the rings up. By her side, another employee muttered softly: “They actually bought so many rings. So tasteless.”

The employee who had just sold the ring replied indifferently: “Don’t be so superficial. Look at the way the couple was dressed. It’s likely that with the cost of the man’s sleeves alone, he would be able to purchase our entire store. These days, don’t the rich all say that ‘simple is the best’? It’s likely that they own far too many things, are and are interested in the small, handmade items offered by the street. Furthermore, that ring was really beautiful on that lady. Much more beautiful than people I’ve seen wearing large diamonds.”

“That’s true. That man really appeared outstanding. It’s unlikely that that lady is of a simple status.”

“Earlier, that man also asked the lady over and over again if she really liked it. He bought it because she liked it. Why would he pause to consider the price? So long as it’s something the person he loves likes, even a jewel worth hundreds of millions wouldn’t be able to compare to a simple silver ring.”

——

After shopping through the department store for another hour, Ji Nuan could no longer tolerate Mo Jingshen’s method of packing away everything she liked. She tugged him away to the seafood supermarket downstairs.

Originally, Ji Nuan had been tugging at his sleeves. However, as they stood on the escalator, she wondered, when exactly did they begin holding hands?

They were in a public space, yet the typically low-profile and low-key Mo Jingshen was actually so stubborn about certain things, including holding her hands.

From the beginning, when she was trying on rings, he took advantage of the situation to hold her hand. Right now, the way he held onto her was unbelievably natural.

Ji Nuan lowered her head to look at their connected hands and wanted to tug her hand back. Although the man did not look down, before she could even move, he tightened his grip and did not give into her whatsoever.
